Yotsuba: Oh!?
Dad: When you hear that sound it's a sign that someone has come. It's probably Jambo; he ssaid he would come today.
Yotsuba: Oh! Jambo!!
123
Fuuka: Jambo! (1)
Yotsuba: Wrong!
Fuuka: Huh? Wrong? Sorry to bother you!
Yotsuba: It was Fooka!
Dad: Really? Someone else?
124
Dad: I had better put on some clothes, shouldn't I.
Fuuka: Yeah.
Yotsuba: Dad always walks around showing off his underwear.
Fuukka: Showing off...
125
Fuuka: So the circular notice came around...
Dad: Huh. I should write my name here?
Fuuka: Yes, there.
Yotsuba: Fuuka, hold this!
Fuuka: Wha... There you should write your name and address and... WAAH!
126
Yotsuba: [They got] mad at me.
Fuuka: Oh, curtains?
Dad: Yeah. And then a mat for the bath, and a washing machine. And a television.
Yotsuba: Televizin!
Fuuka: Ah! We have an extra television, since we bought a new one. Do you need it?
Dad: A television?
Fuuka: We were thinking of giving it to a recycle shop anyway, cuz it's a little old. If that's all right...
127
Dad: That helps a lot! Yotsuba, the lady says she's giving us a television!
Yotsuba: HOW KIND! Can I have ice cream too?
Fuuka: Yes, I'll give it to you if there is any.
Dad: Isn't that great.
Fuuka: Well then, can you come to get it? I can hand it over right away.

Asagi: It must be hard to look for clothes, being so large...
Jambo: Nope! Cuz I'm okay naked too.
Asagi: Well then, see you! Thank you for taking the television.

This page was created by Clockwork Blue. All artwork was scanned and translated personally by me. Go ahead and borrow the pictures if you like (please put a refferal link), after all, I didn't draw them! But please do not copy the text. Translation takes effort and time, both of which I am short.

If you do happen to take the time and effort to make a Yotsuba to! fansite, please send me a link! I'll be happy to put it on the links page! Pass on the word, and perhaps one day pleasent manga like this will be published in English speaking countries, too.
